Hi PrinceXML team,

I’ve run into an issue when using absolutely positioned elements inside table cells.

When an absolutely positioned <div> inside a <td> contains content taller than the page, Prince renders it correctly on the first page, but the overflow content does not continue onto the next page — it gets cut off at the page boundary.

Example
<table>
<tr>
<td style="position: relative; height: 200mm;">
<div style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%;">
<p>
Very long content here that should continue onto the next page,
but currently gets cut off when it exceeds the page height.
</p>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Expected behavior

Ideally, Prince should either:

Allow the absolutely positioned element to paginate naturally, or

Provide a mechanism to anchor it inside the cell while enabling content to flow to the next page.

Environment

PrinceXML version: [15.2]

OS: [Windows]

Is this the expected behavior, or is there a recommended workaround for paginating absolutely positioned content within table cells?

Thanks!
